Rescue Brigade Helmet

These helmets were used by mine rescue teams.  They allowed rescuers and those being rescued to breath when there was heavy smoke caused by explosions.  Clean air was supplied via a pipe attached to the side of the helmet.  It would be pumped through with bellows operated by someone standing in an area of cleaner air.
